Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for October 16, 2012

Gary turns, and in a fit of pique, soaks his neighbor from head to toes.

This guy has got to want something. Either a politician or a salesman.

That ear lobe looks more like an ear ring than ever – not that I mind, cos I’ve got five on one side.

He’s either mute or an as***le.

I’d be more afraid of that squirrel he’s wearing on his head.

Since he likes signs… over night put a for sale sign in his yard. repeat as needed.

Okay with me if you want to be with me.Now get your butt over here and do the yard, paint the house, fixing the plumbing (See the water pressure out the hose), massage my wife’s feet (watch out for the corns), clean up after the dog, and fix the cats plane. He is having engine issues. Oh and come by tomorrow I need some one to shave my back.See how fast that guy would run after that.The next sign would probably say “Stay away”

Looks to me like Gary’s neighbor is flirting. I’d find that unsettling.

It’s a sign of the times, Gary !

Relax Gary. It’s better than the last sign he held up. He has mood swings.

I’ma thinkin’ teh hoze sez it all…!!!!

Gary picks up his sign and slowly turns around. His sign says:I HAVE A GUN

It is.Works for me on many levels.One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, huff cheeze whiz, four tequila, five tequila, six tequila, floor.And as Dean Martin said“If you cant hold onto the floor you are too drunk.”

I rode my bicycle past your window last night I rollerskated to your door at daylight It almost seems like you’re avoiding me I’m OK alone but you’ve got something I need, well

I’ve got a brand new pair of rollerskates

You’ve got a brand new key I think that we should get together and Try them on to see I been lookin’ around awhile You got something for me Oh, I got a brand new pair of rollerskates You got a brand new key

I ride my bike, I rollerskate, don’t drive no car Don’t go too fast, but I go pretty far For somebody who don’t drive, I been all around the world Some people say I done all right for a girl

(repeat the refain bit again)

I asked your mother if you were at home She said yes, but you weren’t alone Oh, sometimes I think that you’re avoiding me I’m OK alone but you got something I need, well

I’ve got a brand new roller skates…and so on.

the sad thing is, I know this by heart. Now it is brainworm in my head all this morning at work.

I’m here!Or to paraphrase Gary’s neighbor…. “I’m with you, buddies!” LOL(Hope nobody’s holding a hose.)

Is it too late to catch a beer before the day turns?

I’ve had so much to do…. I keep getting just barely back to the comics and being called away again…I ask you…. what kind of day is that?

I smell a trap…

Maybe Gary should consider using that garden hose to arm himself with some nice water balloons.

It’s Arfside’s (Farside) birthday! Come celebrate.
